It’sĮasy to get overwhelmed by all the different lines and shapes. If you can see the big outer silhouette you can drawĪ simple containing shape to fit your subject into. The key is to look past the inner contours at first and focus on Now that we have a definition for contour line, how do we But for now just be aware that shadows are a separate drawing element. We will get into detailed lessons about shadows in Drawing Essentials: Level 3. Shadows are their own element and are very important in showing the form of objects. Enjoy the feeling of creating art and making something that is uniquely yours and beautiful, rather than “perfect” or manufactured! I hope you enjoy the simple joy of creating something as much as I did.I don't consider shadows to be contour lines at all. Also, with a simple line drawing like this, don’t be too picky or perfectionist. They key is to be relaxed about it, play around until you get the feel for it, and even start with a pencil if you wish. Repeat the process on your page to create a design of three peonies! Next, layer out to the other side, and add some organic waves above the first/central shape…Īnd, finally, add one or two more organic swoops at the top, and fill one with tiny dots to represent the centre of the peony…įor the trio of peony blooms, start with a simple shape like a bean and build out around it (like everything is flowing or growing out from this original bean shape)…Ĭontinue to add some undulating petals around the outside until it feels complete…Īnd, lastly, add some simple peony leaves flowing out from 1-3 spots on the bloom… Then layer out to one side, keeping things (always) as simple and organic/flowing as possible…

SIMPLE EASY CONTOUR DRAWING UPDATE
I think this simple update to our mantel of my DIY peony line art is a great way to pay tribute to these beautiful blooms.Īll you need is a fine point sharpie as well as white cardstock. Until then, I’ve got faux peonies in a few vases throughout my lakehouse. Living on Vancouver Island, the peonies are close to blooming but we still have a couple of weeks until those beautiful blooms are lighting up gardens everywhere. But this idea for a line drawing came to me out of, seemingly, nowhere… I wasn’t sure what to do at first, since peonies aren’t in bloom yet and I haven’t been out shopping in many stores with a good selection of pretty florals lately.
I’m really excited today to be joining my friends Ashley, Janine, and Leslie who are hosting this peony themed project hop. This super easy peasy DIY peony line drawing is so fun and crisp and fresh – it gives a light and airy springy feel to our mantel without adding any colour! Black and white is really growing on me… You know when you come up with an idea but you aren’t sure how it’s going to turn out but then you decide to try it in spite of your doubts and it turns out even better than you expected? Well, today’s DIY project is one of those ideas.
